How To stop an Executed Jar file


On Linux

ps -ef | grep java

It will show u a list of processes out of which one will be your executable jar. Just kill that process by its process id.

sudo kill -9 <pid>

Is there any way to do this from the java code of the same jar file. Like killing itself once process completed.


Find the process id by jps command & and kill them by taskkill command.

Note that "-f" is required with taskkill or it may just send a termination signal not actually terminating it.

Did you try to kill the java.exe processes in the taskmanager? It should stop then.
